Ok...I found a reference to where this comes from.

So my question is, since I'm doing way more than 8 routed interfaces on
all my 3550-48s, are there commands to see what my other resource limits
have been diminished down to?  I'm not seeing much CPU utilization, so I
don't think things have gotten bad enough that packets are having to be
process switched...but I suspect at some point it might be a good idea to
remove the 3550s from ospf area 0 and put them in their own NSSA, since
they do need to advertise lots of connected/static routes, but don't
really need to carry all our network routes...default routes and their own
area routes would do.
